Different state, but yes, no stipulations on where the liquour is in the car so long as the driver doesn't touch or drink it. Fond memories of my early 20s rolling down to the bar in the back of a truck with the pregame still going.

Where I am there's no statewide public drinking ban outside of schools or government facilities - municipalities can restrict it somewhat, but if I were to stroll down the street drinking I wouldn't get stopped unless I was being a nuisance or clearly unable to function.

Can't take alcohol from the bar or a restaurant if it's open container, but if I buy a 6-pack at the store it's free game.

I can also go to the drive-thru and get booze from the beer barn down the block, and the passengers in my vehicle can drink all they want.

Seeing it live was a bit of a fever dream - the realization that the intro is going longer than normal + the shift in tone hit harder at 3am

This is how I feel, and I know a lot of folks who are in a similar boat. We're sold this story of being financially stable, having a house, a car, and being able to retire, but for a lot of Americans that is looking more and more like a pipe dream each day.

The poorly educated/informed people eat up the propaganda like candy, vote against their own interests, and tear down everyone around them in hopes that they'll be on top one day, and it simply won't happen in the present state our country is in.

If you aren't cooking by vibe, are you really living?

Baking on the other hand...

I'm not OP, but I also prefer KDE over Cinnamon. The size/spacing of the buttons on the left side of the start menu/application launcher looks weird to me, and while I'm sure there's merits to Cinnamon that was enough to sour my tastes.

Calling Taco Bell tex-mex is dubious at best, as well! It's definitely inspired by it, and has had some influence on the restaurants since; but it's far too fast-food-y to be considered proper tex-mex. TB is in a category all its own creation, which is definitely not a bad thing.

I didn't hear a single thing about the game until after it was already dead, and that's why I'm not surprised it flopped.

If they'd done better(read: any) marketing or public testing, then it might have been at least salvageable, but from what I've read it seems like people weren't fans of the character designs and gameplay either.

The thing about IT for older folks is you have to be up for conversation too. Most of the customers I have only get out for church, so if I come out to see them it might be the first conversation they've had in days.

By definition? No.

But if there was a situation like that, I'm willing to bet people would default to using the "first" title anyway out of custom.

"First Grandchild" has been used previously (mostly tabloids), but I think the "first" term is usually limited to immediate family

I'm surprised they thought it was going to do well. I heard absolutely nothing about the game until after it launched, which is never a good sign to me.

If it was free, I'd definitely give it a try, but paid multiplayer shooters just aren't worth it to me anymore.
